Default Vermiculture: Worms and their pooh
Adding worms to your garden will greatly improve your yield. I will be adding this to my garden and my guerilla site. I have pictures of turnips and carrots. On the left the control 0% worm castings, center 10% worm castings, and on the right 20% worm castings added to the soil.

This link will help anyone interested in starting a worm bin or worm farm.

Studies show adding wormcastings improves the plant immune system.

And worm tea: is wonderful as a foliar feed.

Yep. Worm poo is the shit....sorry.

I have a worm bin in my house and they just eat my table scraps and produce fertilizer for me.

They're delicious too

instead of having a worm bin could you just put the worms directly into your pot where you grow your stuff?

You need to feed them and they like a lot of space and will multiply, so I don't think it would be good to keep them in the soil with your plants.

Although if you had a large soil grow, it might work.

These worms are also called compost worms or manure worms, as manure is a natural part of their diet. I am trying a new way for my guerilla plots. I dig a 1'x1'x1' adding compost, horse manure, and vermicompost with worm cocoons. Worm cocoons hatch 5-10 new worms and they begin to eat and produce worm castings right away.

So yes you can add worms directly to your plants soil and even adding manure as a top dressing will keep the worms eating and leaving castings.

The benifits of a worm bin besides going Green, is have a good supply of worms and castings onhand always.
